Changing the Lens (NC Conference)

As we continue to move in our Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion Strategy, we would like for you to participate in a couple of workshop events.

Our workshops are:

OPTICS

This workshop provides an eye-opening exploration into the power and impact of implicit bias, ways to counteract those biases, and the benefit of engaging with people of diverse cultures and experiences. Through dialogue and discovery, we explore the mystery of how our biases are developed and learn techniques to outsmart them that foster equity. Participants will also gain a greater capacity to implement and maintain culturally sensitive practices in the workplace and in public engagement.

ZOOM LENS

This workshop is an immersive experience through which we examine American norms. We analyze common understandings of race and racism and offer a different perspective. We delve into the historical and institutional issues of bigotry and bias that have shaped our society. Our goal is to awaken empathy and inspire participants to begin a journey of transformation.
